Excess power production and other anomalous effects have been observed during the electrolysis of heavy water using palladium and palladium-boron alloys as the cathode materials. This study focused on hydrogen and deuterium loading into palladium and palladium-boron alloys. Improved calorimetry provided for the detection of the exothermic heat of absorption of deuterium into palladium and palla...

The updated Nanostructure materials and nano technological tools are predicted to enable the synthesis of novel polymers, as well as polymer–inorganic composites to manufacture higher qualified membranes possess attractive physical and chemical properties with high performed sensitivity and selectivity. An accurate and simple method for drug analysis is required for forensic toxicological inves...

There seems some underlying technological interest in recent developments (1-9) in palladium alloy systems because of the possibilities of developing palladium alloys with improved characteristics for use as diffusion membranes for hydrogen purification and allied purposes (10). In addition to the important issues of surface kinetics and membrane thickness, other key factors for improved diffus...

In the Hydrogen based economy, distributed power generation systems using fuel cell technology require modularity. This modularity in power generation can be achieved by process intensification of the equipments involved. The water gas shift reaction is an integral part of hydrocarbon based Hydrogen generation and the reaction is kinetically limited and hence occupies the largest volume. Proces...

nowadays, palladium compounds due to their especial characteristics used in different industries, mainly in electrical power sources and chemical productions as a catalyst. therefore, pd concentration is increasing in our around that can be contaminant our environment due its toxic effects. in this work, a simple, selective and rapid flow injection method of analysis (fia) has been developed fo...

BACKGROUND Since the EU Nickel Directive came into force, concern has been raised that palladium may increasingly replace nickel in alloys used in jewellery and dentistry, and that it may cause as many allergy problems as nickel. OBJECTIVES (i) To investigate the clinical relevance of contact allergy to palladium resulting from the wearing of palladium-coated earrings, and (ii) to evaluate th...

We report herein the effect of palladium on the redox electrochemistry of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid encapsulated within an organically modified sol-gel glass network (ORMOSIL). It has been found that amount of palladium and its geometrical distribution significantly alter the redox electrochemistry of FcMCA. The geometrical distribution of palladium has been controlled by two methods: (i) p...
